Lets build the perfect PSP-2
- Thread starter weekend_warrior
- Start date
With Sony pushing 3D so much on PS3 it would be surprising if their new handheld didn't have 3D capability. Not to mention that without it they are instantly another step behind the 3DS.
As it has always been a one screen system I imagine that will be the same again, and so the rumours about touch controls on the back would make sense as I'm not sure 3D and touch on the same screen would be very intuitive.
The second nub is a no brainer. Moving completely digital I am less sure of, as it would lose shelf-space completely. UMD as a format is totally dud though, so none of that please. A cartridge format would be a good move at this point, they tried to sell UMD as a movies and games format but now I don't think there is room to even try to market a new physical format for movies, digital will suffice.
So yeah, 3D, back touch controls and a game-only catridge format please.

ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
- Having the customer choose if they want their PSP2 to have phone capabilities or go with the standard non-phone version (like iPhone and iTouch).
- PSN playing a big role (minis, downloadables, online play).
- Trophies.

It just has to have the ability to make phone calls. I'm not kidding. That way, Sony could concentrate on the PSP 2 instead of having to bother with a Playstation phone
or Apple advertising their iPhone as the only portable gaming platform that can interrupt your bejewled session with calls from your concerned mother.

Taking one the best designed handhelds in the history is hardly a bad start.
Perfect PSP?
Same design than Go, but with a physical support (not UMD ofc)
OLED
Better autonomy would be really good.
Especially designed for 2D games, doesn't have any analogue at all.
Tate mode like wonderswan for vertical shoot'em ups and shooters.
Comes with "Let's Fap together" the next episode of Ogre Tactics developed by Matsuno and Co.
You said perfect, right?

Better head over to the store, because your perfect PSP already exists.Novella said:

For the folks who, for some crazy reason, think it needs to be a phone in order to succeed: would you take a PSP with a native Google Voice app and VoIP (basically, a Google Voice phone that works anywhere you can connect to WiFi) but no actual 3G connection? As a person with absolutely no plans to replace his iPhone or to pay for a second set of telephony hardware that I'm not using, I think that'd be pretty sweet.

Ugh. I hate gaming-side GAF...
- ram: 5999 gHz of ram
- cpu: a quad core arm cortex a8 clocked at 5999ghz (can be easily overclocked)
- gpu: something that can run crysis better than on pc's clocked @ 59999 ghz
- Storage: 599 TB internal storage
- 1680x1050 amoled 3d touchscreen display (there will be another touchpad on the back of the device so we will get easy ports of good games on the puny 3ds)
- constant free 4g network available without any contract
- Can has games from Android market + ships with android 2.1
- Capable of ps3 emulation
- Battery: 99 hours at highest briteness

I'm not sure why people are so down on the UMD's. At this point it's a well established format (PSP had been around since 2004), and there are MILLIONS of UMD games floating around for super cheap. UMD drive inside the new PSP? Terrible idea. As someone said, moving parts + battery = bad idea. But a separate external drive, that allows you to burn your collection of games into the HDD would be HUGE. Sony just needs to figure out a way to prevent people from burning the game game on multiple PSPs. Backwards compatibility will make or break the PSP-2.
No, 7 hours minimum. Think of who you want to sell it to. It's easy to sell portables to parents who can get a guarantee that the kids will be well behaved on the back seat for a trip to visit relatives. That can easily be a 2 hour drive each way. Plus if the kids want to show off their new game to the relatives, then you're looking at easily 5-6 hours of game time between charging, because you don't want to carry the charger around with you if you can avoid it. A handheld MUST be able to do this.DennisK4 said:
4 hours is laughable. But Nintendo is more or less the only company that has realized this. Until someone else gets wise, Nintendo will just continue to own the handheld market.
At least, sony HAS to kill with this. Handled are now bigger than consoles, there is more psp than ps3... I don't know what didn't work last time but this time, there is no reason they don't do something with it.
I think the shift in hardware importance and power can change lot of things for the handled market. Now that it's the first market, and there is all you need to do any games on it, they have to bring some real exclusives, no ports or "handled games", i'm speaking about da real shit.
The kind of shaders heavy tech that you see on 3ds, plus probably lot more horse power (especially if no 3D) can easily emulate some "ps3 from far away" graphics. They can have BIG things on this, from them and the third parties.

Price: $599 (Also, for 10 hours of battery life you'd need a laptop battery, so good luck with that)Lonely1 said:
It worked with the PS3, right?
Come on, be realistic people. We all want the PSP2 to be a powerhouse but my HTC Desire using a 1Ghz Snapdragon and a modest GPU can munch through an entire charge in a few hours if I used the thing heavily (Camera work kills the battery so quickly it's not even funny). While cost is also an issue you cannot have unadulterated tech like the current gen of smartphones use because unlike phones which are used sparingly, handheld consoles use the full power of the device most of the time.
I would love to see a PSP 2 that is more connected with the Sony digital world, so it must be fully able to control the PS3 remotely for example, it must use solid state media for storage (I can't imagine that DS carts are that much more than UMD discs anyway now and storage isn't an issue) and have a touch screen for everything other than gaming reasons.
The PSP 2 could be the best MID ever, especially if Android 3.0 powered, but if one thing isn't an issue, graphical power is one of them.

- Same design as the PSPgo
- DD only
- 32Gb/64Gb internal memory
- Analogue buttons
- Longer battery life
- Touchscreen/3D/*Insert whatever you want here*
- B/C with the current PSP
- Open to homebrew
- Whatever internal specs they can, the more the merrier
I think that the current PSP/PSPGo is almost perfect, even if it's getting old since it launched in 2005.

One thing we don't want is a 3DS me-too system, so I don't actually think putting 3D on it is a good idea. Touchscreens, on the other hand, are a must. This is 2010 and in lieu of a keyboard, the typing solution on the PSP isn't going to cut it.
- Very high resolution display
- Wafer-thin form factor (clamshell or slide for buttons)
- Improved D-pad
- Software comes on solid state cards, not UMDs
- Touchpad/mini-trackball/anything-other-than-an-analog-stick for the right side of the system. Suck it up. You'll learn to love it.
- Capacitive touchscreen
- Browser at least as good as the one on the iDevices
- Customisable EVERYTHING
- Ridiculously long battery life
I'm even going to go ahead and suggest they make a phone out of it, with the caveat:
- 2 models available, a base model and a phone model. Phone model goes through annual refreshes.
